The wine

Rémy Martin Rare Cask, which was released in 2009, is created from a unique tierçon with a slightly higher alcohol content than usual selected by cellar master Pierrette Trichet in 2004 during her annual inspection of the Louis XIII tierçons—the house’’s iconic expression composed of as many as 1,200 very old Grande Champagne cognacs aged in open-grain Limousin oak casks. Impressed by its flavours and aromas, she put it aside and monitored its development for four years, before taking the unprecedented decision to bottle it as it is rather than blending it with other cognacs. This edition is limited to 786 numbered black crystal decanters created in a more than 50-step process by some 20 master crystal designers at Maison Baccarat. The neck of the bottle is made from palladium, a precious metal. It takes almost two weeks for these skilled artisans to complete each decanter. Another Rémy Martin Louis XIII Rare Cask was released in 2012 at 42.6% ABV.

The distillery Rémy Martin

In 1724 Rémy Martin, a winegrower in the Cognac region of France, created the brand of the same name. All of the grapes used to produce its cognacs come exclusively from the two top growths in the region, Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne. Of these exceptional cognacs, Louis XIII, created in 1874, became the house's iconic bottling. Produced from a blend of 1,200 cognacs aged in Limousin oak casks, Louis XII reveals incredible aromatic finesse. Over the years, Rémy Martin cognac established itself in the luxury industry with products that were increasingly upmarket.
